I've heard the '69 351w are the best....at least as far as the heads go. They were rated at 250hp with the 4bbl carb. That was the highest hp rating it ever had from the factory, unless you get into the speciality cars like the Saleen 351 mustangs.

Ford was trying to hype their 1994-1995 351W SVO. It is supposed to be the 3rd strongest behind the I think A4 and one other one that they use in Nascar cars.
